As an odd-numbered street, most of 95th Street handles westbound automotive traffic. However, it has eastbound traffic between Amsterdam Avenue and its western terminus, facilitating traffic exiting the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY 9A) at exit 14.[1]

Notable buildings

  • The 1926 Byzantine Revival facade of Congregation Ohab Zedek between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenue.
  • The 1916 House of the Redeemer, one of the finest Italian Renaissance revival-styled townhouses in New York, is located at 7 East 95th Street.
  • The two blocks that run between Central park West and Amsterdam Avenues are notable for particularly fine and eclectic town houses. The Gothic Claude A. Vissani House at 143 W. 95th is particularly interesting. Other nearby homes are done in a variety of Classical, Renaissance, and eclectic styles. [2]

gollark: If I had to get a heatsink case I would just get that one, since it seems to actually be available conveniently in the UK.
gollark: I will never understand why the RPi Foundation thought their plastic cases were sensible.
gollark: Do they stream in cinema aspect ratio? Also, I'm okay with not having those on my phone.
gollark: I don't think you can get cinema movies yourself very easily, and it's a bit of an odd reason to make the phone excessively tall or add a notch.
